Default Motor Mounts

I am looking for a shop locally that can press out the sleeve from my transmission mount. I have a polyurethane mount to take the stock ones place. The engine side was already installed when both mounts were given to me.

If anyone knows of a shop that can do this the sameday I drop it off that would be great. I know if the shop isn't busy I can just stay and wait. Let me know. Thanks!

Oh yeah I almost forgot I know there's write ups on how to do it yourself but I chose not to. Too much work in my opinion... so I'm just looking for a shop or someone that can do this for me.

seriously though its easy to burn them out yourself. just torch it for like 15 min then bang it out.. shouldnt take more then 30 min ifyou really go at it.

I do have a sawzall but I don't have a vise and I don't have a torch. Rather not buy things to get this done. I really don't want someone holding it down while I cut into it with my sawzall (speed is adjustable on it) don't want to be responsible or cause any accidents.

Hell I know the rubber part can be melted or cut out. Its the ring that needs to be pressed out/banged out that I'm worried about.

I guess if thats my only solution and no shop close by can do it then I'll go ahead at it.

instead of buying the mounts, what i did for 2 of my mounts was not even cut them, but fill them up with polyurethane that you can get in a tube at discount auto.
